− | + | Worn in "Waist" utility slot, the psychic insanity lance can be equipped by pawns. Pawns that are incapable of violence can equip, but not use, the lance. Once the wearer is [[draft]]ed, it can be manually activated by the player to target a pawn within 35 tiles and within [[line of sight]]. After a 0.5s warm-up, the target will instantaneously go [[Mental break#Berserk|berserk]]. Additionally, there is a 30% chance that the target will be given brain damage. Pawns with 0% [[psychic sensitivity]], such as those with the [[Traits#Psychically deaf|Psychically deaf]] trait, cannot be targeted by the lance. | |
+ | If used on a non-hostile [[faction]]'s pawn, it will decrease Goodwill with that faction by 200 points. | ||
− | + | The lance cannot be recharged - when both charges are expended the item is destroyed without any trace. | |

For best value, use it on enemies with durability enhancements such as [[go-juice]], the [[Traits#Tough|Tough]] trait, [[power armor]], or a [[shield belt]]. It can also be used on centipedes, especially ones equipped with the [[heavy charge blaster]]. |

It now also has a limited range and no longer works through walls. |
